HOW IT WORKS

BeeLine uses a color gradient to guide your eyes from the end of one line to the beginning of the next. This seemingly simple tweak makes reading easier and faster because it allows you to transition between lines quickly and effortlessly. Many people are able to read 20% or 30% faster with BeeLine, even on their first try. BeeLine is used by students from grade school to grad school, including at leading schools around the world.

BACKED BY EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH AND NON-PROFIT PARTNERS

Independent, educator-led research on BeeLine has shown dramatic reading fluency and comprehension gains for students. BeeLine has been adopted by the California Public Library System, Reading Is Fundamental, and Blackboard Ally.

S AS (ID: 000000924ed2789b) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 05/12/2023 Stopped working with the update April 2023. I click on Beeline Reader in Chrome and it just spins and spins and spins

Ashley (ID: 000000777b9a9862) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 02/06/2023 I used to really love this plug in because it helped me read with ease, but it no longer works with Google Docs and PDFs opening in Chrome. So disappointing, and I wish I would have known that before paying for a monthly subscription.

Uncle Ronald (ID: 0000006d600050ee) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 01/11/2023 I like the idea but as a student, I cannot pay this much. There is an education discount but i assume that's for schools to buy for their students? Isn't there a possibility for me to get a discount as an individual student ?

M. H. (ID: 000000418050cdcb) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 11/20/2022 Does not work consistently & pops up on every page. If you turn auto off, it pops up to tell you that you have auto turned off.
